Team USA is getting ready to begin their quest to bring home the gold medal in the men's and women's basketball tournaments at the London Olympics. And, from the looks of this week's exhibition schedule, neither team is warming up with a powderpuff schedule the SEC would be proud to call their own. The USA women's team will play a warmup against hosts Great Britain in Manchester, England on Wednesday followed by the men against GBR on Thursday. But it's the final two men's exhiitions could quite possibly be gold medal previews themselves with the men against Argentina and Spain. Based on the lackluster performance on Monday night against Brazil, those games could be quite interesting. Mark Jones and Fran Fraschilla will call the action for the WorldWide Leader.
